Donald Trump furious at Forbes for ‘embarrassing’ net worth valuation

Trump, who has repeatedly claimed a net worth of over $10 billion, doesn't agree.

He accused Forbes of trying to make him look bad, calling the publication "bankrupt" and "incompetent," adding in an interview with Lane that a "respected magazine that's coming out" will value him at $11.5 billion.

When Lane asked Trump whether he truly believes that Forbes evaluates him differently than others on The Forbes 400, he responded: "Yes, I do." His reason? "Because I'm famous, and they're not. Because when [Richard] LeFrak had dinner at Joe's Stone Crab, he calls me up and says, 'Could you help me get a reservation?'"

This isn't the first time Trump has fumed about a valuation lower than his own. He accused Michael Bloomberg of being "jealous" of him when the billionaire's news company estimated Trump's net worth to be a measly $2.9 billion.
